Fibre Cement with an Edge: Why Perth Builders Rely on Innova

Durable, Stylish and Built for the Australian Climate

In the ever-changing Western Australian environment, builders need materials that can withstand the elements while still delivering architectural appeal. That’s where Innova Fibre Cement comes in — offering a range of high-performance fibre cement cladding, linings, and panels designed for strength, style, and versatility.

Whether you’re constructing a coastal home in Mandurah, cladding a contemporary build in Subiaco, or delivering a large-scale commercial project in Osborne Park, Innova has a solution that performs.

What Is Innova Fibre Cement?

Innova is a premium range of fibre cement products made by BGC, one of Australia’s most trusted building materials manufacturers. These products are designed to combine the durability of compressed cement sheeting with contemporary architectural aesthetics.

Fibre cement is made from a mix of cellulose fibres, sand, cement, and water, offering excellent fire resistance, weather durability, and dimensional stability — ideal for the WA climate.

Key Benefits for WA Builders and Architects

Weather Resistant
Engineered for Australia’s harsh conditions, including Perth’s dry summers and salty coastal air.

Fire Rated & BAL Compliant
Many Innova products meet BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) requirements, a critical consideration for regional and outer suburban builds.

Architectural Finishes
From sleek vertical lines to textured and timber-look finishes, Innova helps bring modern designs to life.

Low Maintenance
With superior moisture and UV resistance, fibre cement lasts longer and requires less upkeep than timber or painted render.
